Traditional foods and Trim Healthy Mama…

Can the two go hand-in-hand?

Remember — Trim Healthy Mama meals are divided into 3 categories with protein as the focus of every meal and snack. “Satisfying” or S meals focus on quality protein and fat. “Energizing” or E meals are comprised of quality protein and healthy carbs. Finally, “Fuel Pull” or FP meals and snacks are quality protein only — without the fat or carbs.

To tell you the truth, it's much, much easier to find S or “Satisfying” Trim Healthy Mama meals, snacks, and desserts. Because when you can have all the pastured eggs, bacon, butter, and heavy cream you want… well, that's a no-brainer, right? 😉

But what happens when you take away all the satisfying fats? When you can't include butter, bacon, whole eggs, cheese, and grass-fed cream? Are you left with only rice and beans? Must you resort to low-fat, store-bought foods?

By far, the E meals are the ones Trim Healthy Mamas have the most difficulty finding. Especially E meals with traditional foods.

So I've compiled a boat load of E meals and snacks with traditional foods — 47 to be exact — so you don't have to resort to low-fat, store-bought foods to fill in the gaps.

These nourishing breakfasts and snacks, main dishes, sides and salads, and even desserts all focus on quality protein and healthy, traditional carbs — like sourdough breads, soaked beans and grains, sprouted rice, and homemade cultured dairy!

Bake this the night before and sleep in a few extra minutes for a digestible, nourishing E breakfast. Add more protein with a cup of stevia-sweetened yogurt or some scrambled egg whites. Via todayindietzville.com.

Save money and increase nutrition by making your THM cottage cheese yourself! Blend this into an E salad dressing, top with fruit or sliced tomatoes for an E snack, or have it as a side dish with lunch!

Main Dishes

Unlike most bar-b-que, this Instant Pot version has no added sugar. Use boneless, skinless chicken breast and pair it with a baked sweet potato or your favorite salad with an E dressing! Mmmmmm-good! Via TodayInDietzville.com

These don't contain enough fat to be an S or enough carbs to be an E… so they're actually a Fuel Pull (FP)! Pair these addictive crab cakes with a green salad and an E dressing or just a baked sweet potato!

Sides & Salads

Rice is an excellent E side dish — so why not get the most out of it? Soaking before cooking reduces phytic acid and ensures that your body can absorb all the nutrients in humble rice! Via TraditionalCookingSchool.com.
